About this study

Official title: Tidal Volume and PEEP Titration in One-Lung Ventilation With Electrical Impedance Tomography

Mechanical ventilation can cause damage to the lung parenchyma, this is known as ventilatory induce lung injury (VILI).To avoid this damage, ventilatory strategies have been created, focused on the reduction of tidal volume, airway pressures and use of PEEP (positive end-expiratory pressure), which together are called "protective ventilation".

Although ventilation with protective parameters seems to reduce VILI in one-lung ventilation, the optimal parameters are not clear.

Read the detailed description

This research aims to describe the ventilation, perfusion and pulmonary mechanics on one-lung ventilation with different levels of tidal volume and PEEP.

An extreme situation of VILI occurs in thoracic surgery, where the atelectasis of a lung is required, ventilating throughout the surgery only the contralateral one. This generates an inflammatory state, with the release of alveolar cytokines from both the non-ventilated and ventilated lungs, which potentiates the development of damage in the lung parenchyma. In addition, one lung ventilation has traditionally been performed with high tidal volume (Vt) values and low PEEP. In this context, the development of VILI is even more probable, so extreme measures of protection in this kind of ventilation are necessary.

The electrical impedance tomography will allow the investigators to obtain a visual and quantitative representation of the areas of ventilation and perfusion of the lung. By relating the tidal volume and PEEP with the tomographic results, it is expected to define mechanical ventilation parameters that achieve the best ventilation/perfusion ratio for patients in one-lung ventilation. Specifically, analyze the distribution and deformation of the ventilated areas in the different lung regions and its correlation with respiratory mechanics and volumetric capnography. This will allow the investigators to make a better definition of the tidal volume and PEEP in patients undergoing one-lung ventilation.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Electrical impedance tomography. Pulmonary mechanics measurement.Arterial gas measurement. Esophageal pressure measurementDiagnostic test

    After general anesthesia, patients will be ventilated with three tidal volume level (4, 6 and 8 cc / Kg / IBW), in two levels of PEEP, 6 cm2 H20, and best PEEP, the latter obtained after a recruitment maneuver and decremental titration.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Ventilation/ perfusion ratio (time frame: 1 hour). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
